Islamic Alliance for Safe, Ethical, and Responsible AI
Principled engagement with artificial intelligence, rooted in Islam.
IASER enjoins beneficial applications of AI and works to prevent harmful ones — as defined by the Qur’an and Sunnah. We inform, guide, and build community across the intersection of Islam and artificial intelligence.
Safe
Salama — Soundness
AI must not take human life without human judgment or surveil entire populations. We oppose autonomous weapons and mass surveillance.
Ethical
Ihsan — Excellence
AI must reflect moral principles — fairness, dignity, privacy, truthfulness. Systems that strip human dignity are unacceptable.
Responsible
Amanah — Accountability
Those who build and deploy AI bear a trust. They must be accountable for what their systems do and the consequences they produce.

Can We Measure the Iman Impact of AI? Can We Increase It?
Most Muslims will never use a purpose-built Islamic AI. They will use ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. So what happens to a Muslim's iman when they sit with one? JaleesBench measures exactly that: 140 disguised dilemmas drawn from Riyad al-Salihin, six kinds of pushback, and a score from the hadith of the perfume-seller and the blacksmith. The talk covers what the benchmark found across 12 systems, why a single line of context does more than a whole guide, and how one prompt change lifted a real assistant to the top of the table.

الرفيق الذكي المثالي للمسلم الملتزم هو مساعدٌ بُني لهذه المهمة أصلًا. لكن حتى لو كنت تستخدم ChatGPT أو Claude أو Gemini، يُظهر بحثنا أن بإمكانك جعلها صحبةً روحيةً أفضل — أقرب إلى الجليس الصالح الذي وصفه النبي ﷺ — بتعديل صغير في الإعدادات.

At 'Rethinking the Challenge of AI: Tech Sovereignty, Islam & the Individual' at Ebrahim College in London, IASER's cofounder made four points in ten minutes: AI is advancing faster than we are preparing for it; Muslims need to respond both collectively as an Ummah and individually; the worlds of belief and technology have never been closer; and the psychological impact of AI remains poorly understood and represents a major research opportunity.
